 I am lactose intolerant to the point where lactose products seem to go right through me. I am also a fan of experimenting with recipes just because. A few days ago for instance I mixed up some my mr. noodles with vegetable soup and chicken broth and mushroom soup. I didn't add any milk and it turned out lovely just a little spicy and very filling. There are others I've tried as well but I think today was really good and it was simple.

These cues can convey more than words alone. - **Respectful Silence**: Allow for pauses in conversation, as silence can be just as powerful as words. This gives the speaker time to g...

 If you have been hanging around for a while I'm glad you are still here, if you are a new reader welcome. If you have been following along you know that I like a creative challenge! I have begun to play around with Stable Diffusion and other AI art programs. I can't draw a straight line let alone create beautiful art work like a professional but the AI programs allow me to take an image that is in my head and create it for all to see. Pinterest  this will take you to my main Pinterest page for this ID cmarois60. I am debating if I should switch back to the old site as more people go there but it seems like a lot of work to copy everything over to the other ID cherylmarois.

Today I have a few things I want to get done. Among them are giving you my personal lists and printing out the bits and bobs ...

I have been doing some experimentation with various AI art generators, this one is from Bing and I only found it today. I decided to have a bit of fun. This is a representation of the world in my story though it is by no means correct it does give the feeling of unity I wanted. Now I just got to make it clearer
